Big Man

leave me alone it feels so good to say that confinement and restriction have suffocated me to the point of no return literally, as in I wish to escape first chance I get and never return does it feel good, big man? does it feel good to asphyxiate me? does it feel good to cut my wings? tell me, big man, have you ever been asphyxiated? have you ever been cut down? have you ever been driven to the point of 99.9% suppression; .1% willpower? leave me alone big man a power trip pack up your emotional baggage and take a flight to the land of inhibitions leave me alone big man I push you pull or is it you push I pull?; you push me away with your constraints and I pull you closer to madness with my cries for freedom leave me alone let me jump in the fire I’ll let you know if I get burned stop the smothering, big man you bring me to the highest peak of the highest mountain with the most beautiful views and freshest air only to hold me back and stop me from breathing you better watch out, big man one day I’ll run out and over the mountain while you stay back grasping at my silhouette leave me alone
